Resting on the laurels of previous generations has become a cancer in Canada. Just my opinion, but I think aversion to risk has driven everything from the Canadian economy to politics to daily life. I don't know how to fix it because it drives how the East votes, and the solution is removing the safety rails. But that's a political solution, and what is politics if not an avatar of a population?

Even if an intruder is unarmed, should you still be allowed to shoot them for breaking into your house?..

I know this is extremely uncharacteristic for me, but truly, you don't see what I see right now.

It's hard to describe, the joy I feel right now. I have not felt this way since the Convoy.

@BanAvoider69 @RAWigger Dude, I lived in a sea can in the Arctic for most of my twenties. I’ll be honest, I’m really starting to appreciate the minimalism.

@ScottsOriole @Martyupnorth I mean perhaps. But either I’m not young, which admittedly is a shitty way to find out, or I am in an exceptionally large bubble.

@Martyupnorth Ok fair point I’ll take your word for it I’m just saying from what I can tell in my regular interactions with young people it’s just something that never comes up maybe it’s something really resonating with them and they’re keeping it private. Just cautionary note about bubbles.

"The pilots sacrificed themselves to save everybody." Captain Steeeve says the "heroic" Air Canada pilots involved in the LaGuardia plane crash "could have veered left or right to avoid harm for them in the cockpit.” 📺youtu.be/F82jBioz6GA @piersmorgan

Starlink in flight Wi-Fi review: "I just tried Starlink Wi-Fi on United — and I can't believe they're not charging for this. This is a game changer. The experience itself was surprisingly seamless. Once I logged in on my phone, I used a QR code to connect my laptop instantly, because yes you can connect unlimited devices. I even uploaded a 40-second TikTok, something I’ve never attempted mid-flight because it usually requires leaving the app open and hoping it doesn’t fail. With Starlink, it took about five minutes and worked on the first try. I can guarantee I’ll notice the difference the next time I fly without Wi-Fi like I experienced on this flight."

@truckdriverpleb @ztisdale Holy shit. What a loser. He’s clearly searching for an audience and he didn’t feel like being on the right side of history was paying enough.

Having a great time actually. I’ve dueled four of my friends. Hasn’t been super fair because I’m in my endgame build and they’re still working on it. But it is completely different to PvE. There isn’t much standing and banging and it’s all a mind game. 10/10 I don’t know if I’m wishing over ambitiously but a tarkov/dark zone game mode would be awesome. Same with a MOBA.

Since we sneakily introduced Duels in Patch 1, it'd be interesting to know how everyone here feels about them! Having fun testing your builds against your buddies? Also, since we'll be looking into our Arena PVP Mode, it'd be great to know what 3d fighting games people are in love with. And I don't mean 2.5d fighters, but things like Power Stone 1&2, etc. Goal is to create a new breed of 3d fighting game playstyle that combines skill based combat with fully interactive arenas. The latter is going to be quite the game changer I think.

But it is an aviation problem. Swerving all but guarantees you strike a wing. Honestly my friend, I think this is all academic for you. I am an airline pilot by trade. I have operated in and out of LaGuardia, which is one of my least favourite airports on the planet. By the time you see the truck on the runway, there just isn’t enough time to swerve hard enough to avoid the wing strike. Yes, you’re moving pedals, and that does give you some control. There should also be a tiller, but admittedly I’ve never flown an RJ. A hard movement on the nose wheel may well guarantee a skid, too. I can find videos of airplanes turning into position on the runway and using too much tiller and skidding for you. I think this is as far as I want to go with this now. I just want to say that whatever the prelim shows, in my estimation, with the knowledge I have now, the pilots did about as good a job as anyone could have expected from them. I can go into more granular detail for you, but I want to shy away from judgment.

This isn’t an aviation problem. It’s a philosophical problem. These pilots have to assume in a crash that all parties die. So assuming that; is it better to swerve your plane away from the firetruck, possibly killing your entire plane or do you continue forward crashing into the truck, possibly killing your entire plane and all the firefighters? The correct answer and the heroic answer would be to swerve, at least guaranteeing some live.

ABSOLUTE HEROES. Pilot Antoine Forest and First Officer Mackenzie Gunther tragically lost their lives in Sunday’s horrific LaGuardia crash, but they made the ultimate sacrifice and saved EVERY SINGLE passenger on board. Their Air Canada flight collided with a firetruck, but because of their incredible bravery, everyone else walked away. Survivor Rebecca Liquori said it best: she is “forever indebted” to them. God bless these two heroes and their families. This is what true bravery looks like! 🙏

Yeah, I’m not saying they need to do a drift, I mean a couple degree change of direction to the left and they miss the truck. They didn’t even try. They instead crashed their plane directly into firefighters. They are lucky the entire plane didn’t explode to begin with. Again, nothing the pilots did was heroic.

@polishmanium @jraeruns @RyanAFournier You know what would kills a plane? Swerving and impacting a wing, which spills gas. If the engine also hits, now we have fire. And not like Toronto, where the body of the airplane is far removed from the blaze. That would have killed everyone involved.

@reaper_x8 I hate to say it but I think I’m in the same boat. I just can’t bring myself to want to care. Zero skill, zero time to action sort of destroyed what made battlefield great.
